Crowdie or Scotch Soup

Ingredients -- 2 gallons of liquor from meat, 1/2 pint of oatmeal, 2 onions, salt and pepper.

Any kind of liquor, either salt or fresh; remove all fat from it, and put it in a stewpan. Mix the oatmeal with a 1/4 of a pint of the liquor, into a smooth paste; chop the onions as finely as possible, and put them into the paste, add salt and pepper to taste. Omit salt if salt liquor is used. Allow the liquor to boil before stirring in the paste, boil twenty minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it getting lumpy.
